Talk to your husband now to work out how to handle this.

I wouldn't be around them.

What does your DH think of the situation?

My own parents weren't allowed in my house when they were disrespecting DH.

Did you happen to see her dH in an icecream shop behind the counter with the icecream girl?

You know what post that refers to, right? We told Op to butt out/myob as to risk breaking up SIL's family.

Oh no! I hope you are not my ex’s new wife because I really like you, you are a great stepmother to my son.

Agree, polite distance. Good luck

Skip the holidays with them. Send DH and the kids and spend time with your own kids.

What an awful statement, OP. She sounds like my mother

Why do you think she said it?

That's preposterous! How can you break up her family? What a drama queen.

I'm sorry, OP.

Stick very close to your husband. Be polite but distant.

Does DH know? What are the root causes?
